Giants up 2-0 in 4th due to Conforto's 2 run shot.

 

[Stokes1931]

You beat me to it, LHG!

 

[Stokes1931]

McCray has now struck out 42 times in 96 at bats (43.75%) against just 5 walks.

I don't mind his aggression, but he has got to increase the walks and decrease the strikeouts if he is going to stay at this level and contribute.

 

[Stokes1931]

Webb in the 4th

walk
single
double

Lately he seems to run into these sorts of innings where the wheels just fall off.

 

[Stokes1931]

Man, walking the leadoff hitter almost ALWAYS leads to bad things.

 

[tzill]

typical day baseball. We score two for spider T4 and he shits the mound B4

2-3 bad guys and this one feels like we won't be coming back.

Why would you ever throw him a strike if he will constantly chase out of the zone???

Hitting a bit like Schmitt has. Which makes me ask, what are they teaching down on the farm?

 

[LHG]

Webb looks like he may be worn out too. There is something about the Giants (feels like since 2016 but I doubt that long) that they just cannot handle the rigors of a full season. They seem almost built to handle 60% to 75% of the season and go no further.

 

[LHG]

Of course, I wrote that as Webb set down the Orioles 1-2-3 in the 5th. Still, his starts recently have not been as good.

You can’t walk to SF…

 

[tzill]

ah well, we didn't want the sweep anyway.

 

[calsnowskier]

Are “per-ez” are “pair-ez” two distinct pronunciations of the name, or are those just accents of the same word?

 

[LHG]

So the Orioles dumped Kimbrel. I know he’s been really bad the 2nd half of this year but I wonder if his meltdown against the Giants was the final nail in his coffin?

Seeing as he was kicked to the curb immediately after the game, I think that is a fair assumption.

 

[LHG]

Look, the Orioles have their version of Doval

 

[LHG]

Whoa, @Stokes1931 , a Giant scored from 2nd on a single!

 

[tzill]

Raise your hand if you actually thought Schmitt was going to do anything there.


Now, put your hand down you phuking liar.

 

[LHG]

Geez Walton, this pitcher is all over the place so you swing at the first pitch, outside the zone.
